No idea, but a bit more stress testing did reveal a similar problem here. = =20 After I associated with the AP w/ hidden SSID I changed the channel via=20 webinterface.

Not sure what happens there yet,=20 but something seems to get stuck in an undefined state. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart5576585.FA74UGUkao Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBFKpRyXyyEoT62BG0RAhB4AJ43z2IJ3q3Ep6gl469FDljoep7HXQCfa3qS 9a6iE5Les63ngCAwccgJ0zc= =nSis -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart5576585.FA74UGUkao--
